The McKinney will case at Stockton,

Hon. C. W. Fulton and his brother won
two cases recently for the defense, one
after the other. ' The Prosecuting At
torney declared he would never again
bring a charge against a trapman or a
gill-net fisherman. He declared it
utterly useless to try to secure a con
viction, and stated that it would never
be possible for the State to win a case of
the kind when the lawyers so mixed the
jury up with the jurisdiction question
that they were unable to agree on any
thing. Mr. Fulton produced certificates
held by both defendants, and argued
that the laws of Congress giving Oregon
jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases
to the Washington shore of the Colum
bia only applied to tiie service of pro
cesses and to crimes committed on a
floating boat or other craft and not to
anvthing fixed into the bed of the river
on the Washington side. He claimed in
addition that, if a Clatsop county jury
pronounced jurisdiction over Washing
ton tisiitraps, the Btate of Washington
could with just as much reason levy dues
on and control the Union Pacific wliarves
that run out toward the middle channel
from Astoria. Judge Cleveland, being
powerless to instruct the juries on the
question of law, was barred from in
structing either jury, and the Faltons
secured acquittal for every one of tneir
clients. The question unfortunatenr is
no nearer settlement than ever, "the
Hlientf of the county and all his dep

Secretary Carlisle has appointed
Worthington Ford of Itrookirn. N. Y.,

The Star says that President Cleve
land has told members of Congress that
under no circumstances would there be
an issue of bonds unless especiallv au

with Congress and not the administra
tion to nnd a remedy for it.

but notwithstanding this denial there is
reason to believe trouble is anticipated

United States Courts.
Plans are being made by Secretary

He will, however, visit noints in Indian
Territory and then proceed to California.

Pacific railroad. Mrs. Smith has

Every once in awhile the rumor is
started that Justice Field contemplates
resigning from the Supreme Bench. As
often as this story is started it is denied
bv tllfi JllStien bimwlf I'inlil wan n.it a
Cleveland man, because Cleveland re-
lusea to appoint mm Chief Justice. He
was so angry at that time that he might
have resigned to Bpite Cleveland, but he
is over his mad and now thinks that
some other Democrat may appoint his
successor. At any rate he is going to
try it. If Harrison had been re-elected,
he might have retired, because it would
have meant the selection of a Republican
as his successor, unless he waited for an
other election.
Secretary Gresham has received infor
mation from Minister Illouut that war
rant the conclusion that he is prepared
to inuorse an mat nas oeen (lone in Ha
waii, and that he is now strongly in
clined to recommend at least the estab
lishment of a United States protectorate
over the Hawaiian Islands. The Secre
tary is also in official ignorance of the
reported interference of Claus Spreckels
in behalf of the restoration of monarchy
and of his insistence upon the repayment
by the provisional government of monev
advanced by him to the late monarchy.
The Secretary is, of course, in receipt of
information from Blount that he does
not feel justified in publishing, but he
feels no hesitation in denying the accu

During the first three months of the
present administration ended June 3 the
total number of fourth-class postmasters
appointed was 6,5)17, of which 4.072 were
to till vacancies caused by resignations
and deaih and 1,808 by removals. Dur
ing the corresponding period of the pre
vious administration the total number
appointed was 8.2"J6, or 1,680 more than
were appointed dming the last three!
months. Of these 2,069 were to fill va
cancies caused by resignations and death
and 5,507 by removals. The number of
appointments made on resignations was
2.015 greater during the first quarter of
the administration than during the last,
and the number made on removals was
3,502 less during Cleveland's flret quarter
than during Harrison's.
CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
The ax Gladstone has been using at
Hawnrden is to be on exhibition at the
World's Fair.
Florida, somewhat late it would seem,
is appropriating $25,000 for State use at
the World's Fair on condition that the
railroads give a like sum.
The foreign commissioners at the
World's Fair propose to have an inde
pendent board of jurors and to issue di
plomas on their own account.
The World's Fair managers have fig
ured expenses down to $20,000 a day,
whereas the daily average revenue from
admissions and concessions is about i-'lu,-000.
A majoritv of the United States Cir
cuit Court has decided the World's Fair
must close Sundays. Judges Wood and
Jenkins ordered that an injunction lie
issued restraining the officials from open
ing the gates of the fair grounds. Judge
(iroeseup dissented, recommending that
the injunction applied for by the United
States District Attorney be not granted.
The decision of Judges Wood and Jen
kins, though reaching the same point in
thoend, take this action on widely diverg
ing grounds, and dissenting opinion dif
fers radically from loth. The court
rooms were crowded when the decision
was read. Judge Wood read his own
opinion, in which he concluded that
Jackson Park was lawfully devoted for
exposition purposes, and that the expo
sition had been in fact turned over to
the control of the Federal government
by the local corporation, and that its
control was therefore as absolute as its
control of the Federal building. He
held that the Sundav-closing rule, hav
ing once been passed by the local direc
tory and approved by the National Com-
miiuiirn fjtrmiw twit mmM tw, nliaiina
it. Regarding the case before Judge!
Stein of the State court he held it was i
no bar to the proceedings, because it is j
inadmissible to say that the government
must in comity yield to a State court.
